My strong and unfading belief has always been that photography is not only a matter of pointing and shooting but it is a thought inspired by the hearth.
Since I was a child I have been completely captivated by the world of photography, always seen as an artistic attitude towards life.
During the years, I have focused my attentions on the world of wedding. In the 2006 I was able to make the wedding photojournalism to become my greatest artistic expression.
In the last years I have established productive connections with several colleagues, sharing considerations and common studies. This has brought to the conclusion that the most beautiful result can be obtained throught a balanced mixture of love for the job, spontaneity of the couple and a delicate style of shooting where the photographer can be barely perceived during the wedding day.
Read More... This allows to capture all the beauty of the most important day of the couple's life.
A nice shot is not only the result of a perfect technique, but the photo should be able to capture the emotions of a unique moment, telling a story for future times too.
I am a sensitive and emotional person, one of those people who can still perceive a deep feeling in staring at a colorful springy sunset, empathizing with the love stories of my couples.
These are the secrets of the successes of my photo wedding stories.

"Dear Francesco, It has been a month when Jan and I made our vows to each other. When we look back on our photos, it’s like reading the book of our great love story. The photos will always remind us how happy and emotional we were and how much fun everybody had. The joy of sharing the...more "pictures and memories with family and friends increased when everyone said to be sincerely impressed by the beauty of our pictures. The creativity and attention to detail you possess shines through in all our photos. In a natural way, you have captured perfectly the beauty and spirit of the most special day of our lives. Thank you for transforming our wedding photos into works of art. Francesco, you are an excellent photographer; you have a great eye to capture a romantic scene and mood.
